At 9:10pm ET Amazon will have the first lightning deal through its new Playstation Network store, discounting Battlefield 4 to $25, or bundled with its Season Pass for $75.

Bananasaurus_Rex Keeps Breaking Spelunky

Spelunky is a very difficult game. But of course some people aren’t satisfied with just plain difficult. Bananasaurus_Rex has already done the near-impossible solo eggplant run, so he had to invent a new challenge for himself. If you aren’t familiar with Spelunky, it’s a platformer with randomly-generated levels. If you spend too long on a…

Video Games, Reimagined As Classic Paperback Novels

Digital artist Zachary Knoles really touched the spot when he redesigned video games and its characters as aged, dusty covers of classic paperback novels. Given the complex story of Xenogears, it would be quite an interesting read as a sci-fi novel from the 80s. Here’s more of his work: Kerrigan from StarCraft II now looks…

The Last Of Us And Beyond: Two Souls Discounted To $25 Each [Gone]

At 6:10pm ET, Amazon will knock the prices of game of the year contender The Last of Us and Quantic Dream’s latest game, Beyond Two Souls, down to $25 each.

Rome’s PS4 Launch Looked Amazing

The PS4 just went on sale in Italy, and the launch event Sony put on in Rome – at the historic Castel Sant’Angelo – looked bananas. Using projectors, lasers and some…dubstep, they turned the old building into the centrepiece of a fantastic light show, at times making it appear as though it had been destroyed,…

​For Thanksgiving, Let’s Take A Trip Down Last-Gen Memory Lane

Sure, the next generation of gaming is upon us. But not only are there still plenty of games coming to current- (or now, last-) gen consoles, there are also plenty of memories worth revisiting. We had a lot of fun with our month-long Last-Gen Heroes series, and I hope you’ll take some time today to…

The Amazing Conversations You Had About Video Games This Thanksgiving

My fellow gaming Americans, Thanksgiving is a day when you can eat turkey, be lazy and answer questions from well-meaning but relatively uninformed relatives about that video game thing you’re into. Surely, grandma asked you about that new PlayStation today? Or your brother-in-law mentioned, while passing the cranberry sauce, that he’s buying an Xbox One…

Xbox One Boxes Going For Nearly As Much As The Console Itself on eBay

Typically, spending a ton of money and only ending up with a box is a scam people don’t want to buy into. Unless, apparently, you really want special Xbox One packaging. Last time we looked at Xbox One listings on eBay, we found that people were paying money for the special “Day One” achievement—they’re a…

The Wii U Bundles Of Black Friday

Unlike the current-gen gaming systems we’ve posted deals on, there’s no bargain basement Wii U to grab this Black Friday, a bummer since Super Mario 3D World is definitely a must play. However, we’ve got a few solid options for you. Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD Wii U Bundle | $300 Not some huge…

A Truth Bomb About Boss Fights

British TV writer and presenter (and former games journo) Charlie Brooker, being interviewed in the latest issue of Edge, nails boss fights. Just…nails them.

Here’s what’s going on Talk Amongst Yourselves, our reader-written blog: derf_vader notices a rather unsavory easter egg in Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, and Stormborn takes apart and puts back together the iconic Koopas as part of his Redesigning Super Mario Bros series. Don’t forget that you can always go join the voices talking about…

The Inevitable Black Friday Supercut Is Nutso

This Friday is Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year. Things are bound to get crazy, and maybe you were thinking of doing some shopping. This video might change your mind. Above is a supercut of the Black Friday shopping chaos. The footage is like something out of a zombie movie. If you…
